WILLARD, Mo. -- A third time wasn't the charm in the Cardinals Boys Tennis district semifinal match vs. Willard. Webb City fell 5-3 to Willard in a match that could've gone either way. This was the 3rd time the Cardinals faced the Wildcats within 7 days.

"Willard beat us last week, but it could easily have gone our way then. It came down to the last two matches tonight, and we just fell that much too short," head coach Stephany Pace said.

Here's a look at the results from each match:

Doubles

Alex Stanley & Lester Pascua lost 8-3 to Willard's Kooper Shipman & Alijah Small

Easton McDonald & Cameron Stone won 9-8 in a 7-3 tiebreaker vs. Kaden Coatney & Morgan Bricker

Jayden Bowker & Justice Bonnow won 9-8 in a 10-8 tiebreaker vs. Knox Key & Hayden Colvett

Pascua won vs. Key 7-5, 6-3

Bowker lost 7-6 (7-5), 6-4

Stone lost to Colvett 6-0, 6-4

Pace added: "We peaked at the right time of the season, which is what you hope your kids will do. Willard was just that much better than us tonight, but Coach Derryberry and I are proud of our kids. This has been an up and down season, but we wouldn't trade our guys for the world."

Webb City wrapped their season up Tuesday with a 7-10 record. The team says goodbye to 5 seniors this season.
